Counting

We’ve been counting the days we’ve been at school. Time is flying by! Ask your child to count to 10 for you en francais. If they can count higher, even better!

Les Saisons

We’ve been talking a lot about seasons (les saisons) and the differences between each one. We will learn about this throughout the year as each season changes. We’ve been focusing on fall (l’automne) and Friday, we went for a walk around the school yard to study the trees and then painted them when we got back to class. We traced our hand for the tree and used sponges to paint the leaves. 

Letter ‘i’

The letter we are learning this week is ‘i’. Ask your child to teach you the name in French and the sound it makes. When you practice writing it, start from the top and make sure the dot isn’t too big. 

‘i’ dit eeeee

‘i’ dit eeeee

souris, souris

eee, eee, eee

Les sorcieres

This morning we made witches (les sorcières) and decorated the bulletin board outside the classroom. Come in and take a look!

Walk-a-thon

Getting our costumes ready for our walk-a-thon. Can you guess what we are going to be?

Les chauve-souris

We painted bats (les chauve-souris) in a pattern and decorated our windows for Halloween. 

Art can be messy :)

Letter ‘Mm’

This week, we are learning all about the letter ‘m’. Ask your child to teach you the letter and sound in French. When you practice printing, remember to start the letters from the top!

‘m’ dit mmm

‘m’ dit mmm

manger, manger

mmm, mmm, mmm

Halloween Door

Look at our classroom door! Thank you Naomi and Yuko for decorating it this morning. The kids love it and we hear lots of excited voices from the other students in the hallway. Halloween is in the air!

Lockdown Drill

Today at 2:00, we had a lockdown drill. This is when we practice staying hidden and quiet if there was ever a stranger in the school and we felt we were in danger. We had to stay quiet for 10 minutes. Even though some of them felt nervous, the students did a great job. I was very proud of them.

Drop Everything And Read!

Today was ‘drop everything and read’ (d.e.a.r.). Mme Eve made an announcement and the school stopped what they were doing and read for 10 minutes. Since the students don’t know how to read french yet, we practiced reading the pictures and making up the story ourselves.
